  1. That should have been a second yellow in the Qatari defender who went from holding both hands behind his back and then moved his arm out to block a shot as he turned his body. Dr. Joe just said that Qatar should have gotten a yellow. Then Qatar boots the ball away after fouling ear their own box and THAT should have also been a yellow. Qatar, and their futbolistas, suck(s)!
  2. Apparently the combined population of St. Kitts AND Nevis is about 47,000 people. That is smaller than UT. I was checking the area out. And it looks like there are a couple of places that I would like to visit. Booby Island, for obvious reasons. And I am interested to find out whether all of the ladies in Gingerland are descended from “Ginger” on “Gilligan’s Island”.
  3. White defender for SKN channeled Miazga/J. Morris by keeping the opposing goal scorer onside. It this guy chose to raise his hand for the flag as he was clearly keeping a the T&T guy on. Shocked that a squad like SKN would have a defensive breakdown. PS- T&T’s #20 has a Zardes-level first touch.
  4. I guess that body slams are fine as long as you touch the ball first. I can definitely see a straight red in the 2nd half. And just like that, T&T gets a good goal. Nice!
  5. This T&T v St. Kitts & Nevis match is a little rough on the ol’ eye balls. Full scale middle-aged former athletes’ competitive weekend league vibes. The players definitely care. The field is soaked. The play is ugly. You don’t feel a goal is nearly as likely as a straight red card sometime in the second half.
  6. Check your local listings for the Haiti v Qatar match in Spanish. All games in English on FS1. The 1st & 3rd games are also on Univision.

    You must have missed the goal. Deft touches, bought some time, floated the ball into the middle, a Jamaican fuckup and then BOOM… a goal. That goal doesn’t happen without Jesús. Also, if Miazga hadn’t kept the Jamaican onside, Jordan Morris was there to keep him onside from the back post. In fact, he was closer to the end line than Miazga. Yedlin wasn’t the worst player on the field, but he sucked plenty of times. Late in the game when Bailey was in the corner, it is impressive, but not shocking to see Bailey work his way out of the corner, but the second defender should always sweep through and get the ball. I was doing that in elementary school and never even played “select”/“club” soccer. But did Yedlin do that? He approached to get nutmegged after watching his teammate get nutmegged. What a shit for brains.

    Roldan & Yedlin should have never been called up ever again. Jordan Morris should have been an “In Case Of Emergency ONLY… …Break Glass” player. Ferreira should be given a straight red card if he is ever placed on the field in the striker roll. We have the team in the building to beat Jamaica, but Gregg doesn’t want BJ to succeed and BJ needs a job, so he will fall on a grenade for Gregg. F U C K !!!!!!!

    Ferreira doesn’t play the #9 for Dallas. He just had a nice entry pass from 30 yards about 3 minutes ago. He is very good at the #10. He should have come in for Mihailovic at the 70’ mark, but Gregg meddled now that he was hired. FUCK GREGG!!!! 😡😡😡😡

    Listening to the Univision announcer saying: ”No, no, no, no, no…” After Soñora panicked and then tried to hit it with his (MUCH) weaker foot (his right) after his defender had fallen to the ground. The guy was on the fucking ground, but he is so in his head over Jamaica’s speed that he tried to one-time the ball from distance with his shitty foot when his defender was on the ground… ”No, no, no, no, no…”

    This is our federation’s cup. They have to be released if we want them. That said, our coaches work with the players and their teams so that the players don’t come up with bullshit injuries before international windows in the future. Cowell totally chips Blake and Cowell isn’t a generational talent or anything like that. Ferreira still isn’t a 9. Fortunately we wasted yet another half to be reminded of that.

    1) I like Aiden Morris, but that high kick was regarded. 2) I don’t care how many players Jamaica has in the Premier League, they are talentless and suck ass with the ball.

    Miazga kept everyone onside. He could see the Jamaican guy in front of him and chose to keep him onside rather that letting him drift off. 🙄 Long sucks, but that goal was on Miazga.

    1) FS1 announcers are about 2 to 3 seconds ahead of the action. 2) Soñora should have had a goal, or required Blake to make an amazing save. He failed.

    “Heavy touch” from Jordan Morris. Not shocked.

    I agree. I believe that Gregg picked the lineup. Yedlin shouldn’t even be in the squad, much less starting a game. JFC! Soñora is a #10 who has to play the #8/#10, because he isn’t good enough to make a manager play dual pivots behind him. He also is about 5’6” to maybe 5’7” and probably weighs about 115-120 lbs. He makes Brenden Aaronson look like an American football player. Really, Aaronson would have no problem “little brothering” Soñora off the ball. None whatsoever.
  17. A friend (UT alum) is there with his LSU son, dripping in purple garb, and has been there since last weekend. He’s hoping for that Father/Son Field of Dreams shit. I’m pulling for LSU so that he can have that experience.
  18. I can vouch for this. Especially when you grow up surrounded by wealth. Okay, that part isn’t all bad, but it does mess with your head.
  19. This can be the thread for general observations, complaints, and comments about games that may or may not have an impact on our boys. Groups:

    Probably because he has barely played in 2023. That’s my guess. If he were a starter somewhere, I don’t think that he would be here.
  21. Oh, you don’t have to tell me.

    I like Ferreira (FC Dallas hincha desde los días del Dallas Burn), but he is not a #9. He is 5’5” and Zendejas is 5’3”. What the fuck are those two going to do against guys twice their size and just as fast? 🤯🤬 Sure, Sergio “Kün” Aguero is about 5’4” as well, but our two midgeetos are no Kün Agüero(s). I hope that Cade Cowell gets at least 30 minutes in the second half. I hope that this is Aaron Long’s only start of the tournament. My sister went to college with James Sands’ mom, so there is a casual rooting interest in the guy, but I have zero faith in Sands’ ability to play against decent competition.

    Most podcasters are expecting Jamaica to show out. I would be them to win our group if I bet, because the payout is worth the risk. I am going to nap now. Viva la siesta!
